The sad part is that none of them had a clue that they were being set up as the fall guy. They are going to be the baddie that ties the nation to the railroad tracks so that Obama and the Democrats can ride to the rescue at the last minute. I hope he learns to twirl his mustache.

Not so much.

Lawmakers let the insurance companies get ahead of the cost curve as long as they supported the law. I remember the president of our company changed insurance carriers 3 times in about 5 years because of double digit rate increases.

They increasingly use the same catchphrase — “rate shock” — to warn about the potential for price surges.

Media: “It’s a right-wing conspiracy! War on women? Never heard of it.”

For the moronic public to ever wake up to our spending problem they will have to be forced to actually pay the bill.

Wouldn’t work. 47% don’t pay any tax, and thanks to the progressive tax system the Democrats would ensure key constituencies would remain untouched. Think a huge tax break for income derived from the movie industry and the education industry. What you propose is actually their plan, but you gotta boil your frogs slowly.

To be fair, at that time the companies were already being demonized by the administration and they probably figured if we don’t play ball we’ll be shut down altogether (single payer).

Of course. Big corporations always partner up with Big Government. While the corporations know they will take a hit through increased regulations/mandates, they also know that their smaller competitors will be not be able to survive the same regulations and end up crushed.

This is why the Left looks like fools when they spew anti-corporation, anti-big business hate. It’s their ideology that gives big corporations unfair advantage! Ironically, the only remedy to “unchecked corporate power” is the free market, which the Left also rejects. This is but one of the reasons why anything the Left dominates eventually turns to crap.
